United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child:

Article 29: One of the goals of education is to teach respect for the environment, for other children and for adults.

Article 31: Children have the right to play and relax.

Article 3: Keeping children safe should be a top priority when decisions are made.

 

Our 10 Golden Rules:

1. We only use equipment at lunchtime – playtime is for eating snack and going to the toilet. There is also time to chat to friends and have a short play.
2. We only use the equipment which the House Captains put out and we use it in the zone they put it in. We only use the football on the pitch area – this is to make sure a ball does not go onto the road or hit a car. We use the equipment for what it is made for!
3. We play kindly and gently and we never put our hands on each other to push or pull.
4. The flag pole area is a quiet area for sitting and chatting.
5. We have seats to sit on and we keep them clean for the next person by keeping our feet on the ground.
6. We only climb on the Trim Trail – nothing else is made for climbing.
7. 6 people can play in the house but we don’t touch the windows because they are fragile.
8. We don’t pick the fruit, but if we see it on the ground we can help sort it out. The good fruit can go in the bucket for Apple Day, the rotten fruit can go in the compost bin.
9. We always put rubbish in the bin.
10. We keep the gates shut.

 

The adults are in charge – they are here to help meet our rights and keep us safe. We follow their instructions.
